Hegseth uses fake Pulp Fiction prayer at Pentagon

US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has again used a famous movie quote in an official setting, this time reciting a made-up prayer from the film 'Pulp Fiction' during a Pentagon meeting. The verse, which is not from any actual scripture, is a famous quote from the character Jules Winnfield. This incident follows a pattern of Hegseth using movie monologues in his official capacity, having previously quoted from 'Reservoir Dogs'. The act has drawn criticism and was followed shortly by a statement from Pope Leo XIV condemning the manipulation of religion for political purposes.
